(iv) The final excerpt addresses the “Bird of Time,” which can be interpreted as a metaphor for time itself. The text wonders where time learns its ever-changing rhythms and measures.

The reference to “new-made brides” implies that time’s rhythms are also influenced by the joy and optimism associated with new beginnings.
